Dragons name unchanged line-up for Cowboys match

Brown has decided to stick with the same side which narrowly defeated Souths 18-16 at a muddy Sydney Cricket Ground last Sunday.

Nathan Blacklock, who scored a try in the 7th minute of his return to rugby league in Premier League last weekend, will again start on the wing in Premier League for the Dragons against Balmain.

In other news, veteran forward Quentin Pongia arrives from France this Friday and will begin training with the Dragons next week. The Kiwi international played with the Raiders, the Warriors and the Roosters before venturing to Europe in 2001.
